Unstable dye... UV degradation... hallmarks of low quality

Yea, mine did it to. The AA L85 really isn't worth $500.

Yea, but some clones, such as JG, $350 is *acceptable* for a $90 clone, since they do actually work and perform well. $450-$500 for a $130 gun that is basically like rolling the dice on whether or not you get one that works is sketchy. If the QC out of Army was really good I wouldn't have had an issue with it -full metal working L85 for $450? Sure. But Army's QC is shit... kindof like early Classic Army guns.
